Sherwin Williams

Embellished Blue

SW 6749

Embellished Blue is a light blue-green with noticeable green undertones that place it closer to a soft aqua than a true blue. With an LRV of 79, it reflects a significant amount of light, making it well suited for bathrooms, bedrooms, or smaller rooms where brightness is needed. It coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Pure White, Sea Salt, Rainwashed, and Comfort Gray, all of which share a similar cool, muted quality that maintains a cohesive palette without strong contrast.
